Geocache Description:


 

The cache is NOT at the above coordinates but is within 1 KM!

A landmark is a recognizable natural or man-made feature used for navigation, a feature that stands out from its near environment and is often visible from long distances. Originally, a landmark literally meant a geographic feature used by explorers and others to find their way back or through an area.[citation needed] For example the Table Mountain near Cape Town, South Africa, is used as the landmark to help sailors to navigate around southern tip of Africa during the Age of Exploration. Other than natural geographic feature, man-made structures are sometimes built to assist sailors in naval navigation. The Lighthouse of Alexandria and Colossus of Rhodes for example are ancient structures from antiquities built for this purpose, to lead ships to the port. Landmarks are usually classified as either natural landmarks or man-made landmarks, both are originally used to support navigation on finding directions. A variant is a seamark or daymark, a structure usually built intentionally to aid sailors navigating featureless coasts. To solve this puzzle match the Landmarks you see with the correct country of origin in order to get the coordinates for the final. The final can be found at N 4A BC.DEF W 12G HI.JKL.  Good luck cachers!
